Biogeochemical accumulation of trace elements in soils and plants of the Russian Far East

The accumulation of total mercury and other elements in soils and plants growing on them (legume and valerian families) selected in the Khabarovsk and Primorsky Territories, Buryatia, and the Amur Region was studied.

Description
Summary:The accumulation of total mercury and other elements in soils and plants growing on them (legume and valerian families) selected in the Khabarovsk and Primorsky Territories, Buryatia, and the Amur Region was studied. The possibility of determining mercury in natural objects along with the natural atomic absorption method is also shown by X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy simultaneously with other trace elements. Analysis of the data obtained indicates that the main sources of trace elements at the test sites are, apparently, sources of natural origin – soils, underlying rocks, underground and surface waters, etc.
